Turtles

A High Mast Lighting Pilot Project is testing lighting alternatives to reduce light emission to protect hatching turtles from walking the wrong way after birth at the adjacent state park. Besides a more focused light source which benefited the turtles, a 40 percent energy reduction was achieved while port security/safety required light level standards were maintained or exceeded. We are exploring additional LED light opportunities throughout the Port. The Port also installed shields on the exterior Midport garage lights to protect the turtles.
